Background

The Canon EOS 66, released in the mid-1990s, was an entry-level 35mm autofocus SLR designed for amateur photographers. Compact, lightweight, and equipped with the Canon EF mount, it allowed access to Canon’s entire lineup of EF lenses, from consumer zooms to professional L-series optics. Offering fully automatic operation with the flexibility of manual modes, it was a practical and affordable way into the EOS system.

Released in the 1990s, the Canon EF 35–80mm f/4–5.6 was a lightweight and affordable standard zoom for EF-mount film SLRs. Covering a versatile range from moderate wide-angle to short telephoto, it is a great walkaround lens for travel, portraits, and general use. Fully compatible with all Canon EF-mount cameras—both film and digital—it is especially compact when paired with lightweight EOS bodies.
